Our project is focused on restoring Córdoba's high-altitude forests, which are essential to the region's water supply. With only 3% of these forests remaining, they continue to serve as natural reservoirs, providing water to 90% of the population. By replanting native Tabaquillo trees (Polylepis australis), we aim to bring back forests to the mountains again while protecting biodiversity, and secure water resources for future generations.
🇦🇷🌳 I just planted a tabaquillo in Argentina! This beautiful tree, with its red, papery bark, grows high in the mountains of Córdoba. Only about 3% of these forests are left, so the team at Bosques de Agua is bringing them back. 🌱
Thank you for being part of Hacktoberfest 2025. These native Polylepis trees celebrate the contributors, maintainers, and open source projects around the world who came together to learn, build, and make open source more accessible while helping restore vital high-altitude forests in Argentina. We're excited to see you all again at Hacktoberfest 2026!
